Alright so I posted last night that my "fail safe spot ...failed" for my wife to get her first deer ever, Rifle or Bow, due to the 125 pics of Hogs coming through the hand fed corn intended for the deer in this area. Well we decided to go ahead and go out and sit on a Railroad Box car that overlooks a section of cotton that butts up to a creek bottom that feeds into Baylor lake here in Childress, Co. We arrived at 6:30 am, 1 hr before legal shooting time to get settled in. Before I go on with the story it must be known that my wife HATES the cold weather, and this morning it was a perfect 35 degrees with a slight South wind. We finally get settled in and go time is about to happen, 7:30 AM.. ( no feeder here either ) and my neighbor directly to the south of us comes driving up to his stand (like a bat out of he**)
that is about 150yds from us with his feeder about 10 yds from the fenceline. So I am thinking, "great.. there goes all the deer " well about 8:00, my wife tells me that she is getting cold and there is no deer coming to the area we expect them to show. So I am frustrated, cause I have planned this hunt for her to harvest her first deer for over a month, when I look directly down from our perch and see not 1 or 2 but 5 Big Does working their way down in front of us about 20 yds. I poke Casey and point, she is looking way out over the field to see what I am pumped about, then I quietly say" RIGHT THERE" .. she sees what the commotion is about and forgets about being cold.... alright to end this story.. she takes 2 does, in 2 shots.. the 1st about 70 yds out and the 2nd about 200 and drops both.. hit square money... proud of my wife... She has been walking around in her camo all day talking to hunters that are in the area... She is Hooked... she said she wants a buck this year with rifle and then she wants to see what all this Bow excitement is about... !!! I can't wait....
